If you find yourself in need of a home with 14 bathrooms, an Olympic-sized indoor pool and a “storybook” entrance, your search may be over.

Assuming, of course, that you can handle a purchase price in the neighbourhood of $25-million.

The Bridle Path mansion once owned by Canadian real estate tycoon Robert Campeau was listed for sale on Thursday.

The gated property of more than four acres boasts a grand cobblestone entrance and a laneway that leads to the 28,000 sq. ft. home. Inside there are 10 bedrooms, grand staircases, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and two-storey ceilings throughout. It also includes a five-car parking garage with additional parking spaces for 40 vehicles, a golf cart, gazebo and outdoor fountains.

Of course, not many someones would be able to afford the French Chateau style house. Even Mr. Campeau had trouble affording the place, once his business interests stumbled.

He launched his construction business, Campeau Corporation, in 1949 and it soon became one of the largest home-building companies in Canada. In 1986, he bought Federated Department Stores Inc. for $7-billion. It was around that time that the Bridle Path mansion was built, but Campeau Corp. struggled with debt and he was eventually forced to sell the home when his company was unable to meet its debt obligations.

The current owners, who wish to remain anonymous, restored the neglected property when they bought it in 2002 from Mr. Campeau and spent 10 years travelling the globe for pieces dating back to the 17th century with which to decorate, said Mr. Cohen. Among their finds were antique furnishings, gilt bronze and crystal chandeliers, wall sconces and various works of art.

They also enlisted the help of late architect Gordon Ridgely, interior designer Brian Gluckstein, and landscape architect Ronald Holbrook to achieve their vision of “balance and proportion” and to return the home to its original state.

Now the owners are “downsizing,” which shouldn’t be difficult.

“Their kids are in university and they are empty-nesters,” said Mr. Cohen, of Re/Max Realtron. “Although they had wonderful years there, people change homes for family circumstances.”

It’s possible you’ve seen the home without ever being in the neighbourhood. Numerous films have been shot there, including It Takes Two and Kissinger. Just last year, it appeared in an episode of Suits. Other notable guests of the mansion, which was blessed by Cardinal Carter, include Pierre Trudeau and actress Jane Fonda.

Mr. Cohen said that despite the price, it isn’t the most expensive property he’s sold in Toronto, and potential buyers have already expressed interest.
